Iiigruhaiu WiUon, Long Believed
Dead, 1h Hack Ak?im in Ruck Hill
Rock Hill, March 144.?Thirty-Uirt?#j
yeara after he disappeared, Ingrahurn
Wilson, long believed dead, was back
again today among friends and loved
ones in Hock Hill.
lie was found in a home for old
soldiers at Dayton, Ohio, his sistbfr,
Mrs. Alexander Dong, wife of one of
the South's most prominent textile
executives and his brother, Dr. DeFoix
Wilson, prominent Spartanburg
physician, and is now the guest nt
the home of Mrs. Long here. In addition
to these are two sisters, the
Misses Anna l.atta and Florence Wilson
of Rock Hill and Hon. Stanyarne
Wilson, of Richmond, One brother,
W. B. Wilson, Sr., is dead.
Aged, crippled with rheumatism
until it is necessary to use Crutches,
and somewhat bewildered by the
changes which have been wrought in
the passing of years, the reclaimed
brother is slowly becoming reacclimated
and meeting again old
friends. A story of a desire to protect
his family from what he felt a
disgrace, after having been discharged
from the United States grmy following
an altercation with an officer and
of his subsequent' adoption of the
name of "James Dowry" in order to
re-enlist several years later, of his
being sent to the soldiers' home, of
his subsequent discovery and return
to Rock Hill, have color equal to any
fiction plot.
Mr. Wilson left home in 1894 and
unknown to his family enlisted in the
army at Atlanta. Stationed at Fort
McPherson, he became embroiled in
a difficulty with an officer and was
discharged. His discharge was not
equivalent to "dishonorable discharge,"
he said, but even this he felt
to be a disgrace, so-he determined to
"lose himself."
In 1896 he responded to the call
of President McKinley for volunteers
to subdue natives in the Philippines,
re-enlisting as "James Lowry." He
recounts experiences of his company
in twenty-eight engagements with the
Moros.
When his regiment returned to the
United States he was sent to the hospital,
and guarding closely the secret
of his identity he determined to spend
the remainder of his days there.
Here fate took a hand. A friend of
the family visiting in Gastonia and
York remarked that he had met .an
old soldier in the Dayton home named
"James Lowry" and that he had been
peculiarly interested in South Carolina
and more particularly in the old
town of "Yorkville." Word came to
Mrs. Long and with Dr. Wilson she
went to Dayton, Ohio, to investigate
in hopes that "James Lowry," a name
long in the family, might be the
brother.
Here came the most dramatic chapter
of the story. Walking down the
long aisles of hospital cots, the
searchers looked in vain for their
brother. Reaching the end of the last
aisle, they prepared to turn away disappointed
when they spied a soldier
at the very end asleep. They bent
over him and found it was their
brother.
The long lost brother says as he
awoke and as he looked up into his
sister's face, he had a dreamy impression
it was the face of his mother,
dead many years. The meeting over,
he Agreed to return to live with his
people.
The final chapter will be written
i when his full right name is restored
and "James Lowry" becomes Ingraham
Wilson again. Such steps are
being taken by Congressman W. F.
Stevenson.
Kiss Shortens Life Three Minutes
Gunnison, Colo., March 25.?A kiss
shortens human life three minutes,
students in the department of psychology
at Western State College here
have decided.
A survey in genetic psychology
showed that a kiss causes such palpitation
of the heart that the extra
beats of that organ amount-to the
normal number taking place in three
minutes.
Figures that are interesting, if true,
show that 480 kisses would shorten
life by one full day and that 3,360
kisses would eliminate one week.
Died on Witness Stand
Greenville, March 30.?While testifying
in probate court here this afternoon,
M iss Ada Fowler, bookkeeper
for the Greenville Lumber company?
crumpled in her seat and was -dead
before assistance reached her. Miss
Fowler was being cross-exarnin by
Wilton H. Karle, attorney for ' the
Greenville Lumber company, in thd
suit of that company against the
estate of M. T. Loftis^ Miss Fowler
had been on the stand for several
minutes ^pd had not complained of
feeling bad. Upon being asked a
question by Mr. Karle, she is said to
have dropped her head, and witnesses
thought she was attempting to evado
the question. Several moments
elapsed and it was discovered that she
was dead.
